[Solved] TreeViewItemModel Selected Member

[Cesar]

Hello I'm trying to do some client side binding of a tree view, however when I'm returning the JSON result back I need to set the selected node with some logic of my own. Turns out I do not see the "Selected" Property on the TreeViewItemModel as it is on the TreeViewItem when you map the items on the Tree definition on your view.

Is there any way to set the as Selected a TreeViewItemModel node?

Thanks I would really appreciate your help.

I too would like to know how to handle this, since as I understand it, the TreeViewItem is deprecated.

This functionality is currently unsupported, but the TreeViewItemModel is not deprecated (we deprecated it for one official release, but realized that it was useful enough to remain, so it is not deprecated anymore).

You can add the Selected field to the TreeViewItemModel and the TreeView will render the item as selected. However, if there is an already selected item, the TreeView won't un-select it, so you'll need to address this problem with JavaScript (i.e. remove the previously selected item manually).
